I've had a horrible couple of years...got ill with bacterial meningitis and pushed myself to get back to caring for my Mum who had Altzheimers and Lewy Body dementia. Only for her to die 6 months later. My world crumpled, I was an orphan! Your videos have helped me to realise that I won't be here for ever. To look forward and realise my happiness is important. So I've taken a decision to spend more time with my family. Where I've laughed and cried, but made me feel more complete and happier. I've now been diagnosed with M.E or C.F.S which has made me cut down working hours to aid my energy levels. I'm on a learning curve. I have a belief that this year there will be many changes for me ahead some big some small, but all to my betterment. Now I can use the tools that you have spoken about to help me through. Thank you.🙏

My values are my spiritual life, my health (I am 85 and this is critical) and providing emotional support for my adult children. These three matters fill my every moment. ❤

[@eva-mariaroessler3636]

Dr. Chatterjee, I love the example of saying "no", "my children are so important, I cannot work on weekends". Unfortunately, as a female early career researcher and full-time mom, who needs to be present with her child every day, not only on weekends, this sounds quite like an overall male/father perspective that I hear all the time. When I say every day, I mean every day, every week day and every weekend. Even among my colleagues at university, I get advice, like: "Just focus on your work during the week and on your child on the weekend." That, however, even nowadays works perfectly fine for dads. If a woman is not present at home with/for her children every day, including producing healthy meals, cleaning the house and putting in time for play, education, healthcare, and fun, she is seen as a bad mother. If she does not work on the weekend, she is a bad professional, and certainly not regarded as a "hero" for one time in the week prioritising her family. If a woman said to you: "I am taking care of my kid(s) every Saturday, and I let nothing come in the way of that." That even sounds like a joke to most of us, right? We have to prioritise others every day, and we have to do our work, often the same amount and quantity of our male colleagues (but we often work during the night, when the children sleep, there goes our super healthy sleep pattern). If men would understand that properly, maybe finally we could get to a 50/50 split of tasks. That is the reality still today and all around the world. What you say about work versus family time there, that works mostly for men, if they have a partner at home who takes care of their children all day and every day.

Very well described, of this treasure of a Doctor. Happy New us in 2025.

[@Barb6106]

Valuable video. You are so right-feeling resentful of people after we have trained them to use us by not saying no. I’m really resonating with that. I was the true doormat “yes” person-until I grew a backbone and (with kindness) started to say no. Took awhile to stop feeling guilty and having the urge to run back and reverse my answer. But now I like people again and stopped feeling used. It’s amazing the respect you get when you say no. I sometimes think some feel bad knowing they are taking advantage of you and it is a relief for them as well. (I like to think this)

[@sandysouthward3635]

I envy your strength and determination. I want to be more like you.

People have unknowingly learned to value/focus on external relationships with others/people than the internal relationship with self.

Happy New Year. I cannot think of anyone else who deserves a better life than I did, to be honest. No one is trying as hard as me.

My values are amazing.

[@candacemeifert-polk7383]

This video actually made me cry , because I so resonate with it. On my death bed , which is not too far off at my stage of life, 1). I want my children to remember how much I loved them. 2) I want my friends and others to remember that I cared and took time to listen to them and help them whever I could. 3) I want my God to know how much I tried to follow Him. As inperfect as I have been The three steps I can take: 1) spend more time with the people I love 2) get out and live and not worry so much 3) find peace in oraying and meditating each day. Thank you for this video!

I feel exactly the same way

[@robertm.-certifieddaytrade4939]

I’ve been one of those people that have tried to find the GOOD in everyone! As a result I’ve been boldly betrayed a lot in life. My girlfriend said something that broke that habit for me. She said “Instead of desperately looking for the good in people, just look for GOOD PEOPLE!”

I couldn’t walk for nearly two years, while waiting for a double hip replacement. Some days I couldn’t even make it to the end of my driveway with my walker, but I got outside anyway, every day. It helped my mental state enormously, even if it was just a few moments of fresh air.
